Commuters from Varthur, Whitefield and the surrounding areas in eastern Bengaluru may finally see relief as the long-delayed Kundalahalli underpass is expected to open next month.
The underpass is part of the signal-free corridor project along Old Airport Road in the eastern and southeastern parts of Bengaluru.
The project was launched by the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) in February 2019 with a six-month deadline but the work actually started only in November that year and the deadline was moved to April 2020.
Midway came Covid-19 and the deadline was extended to October 2020. But a later review showed it wasn’t possible to open the underpass before February 2021.
